VMware Products

VMware's licensing landscape has shifted towards a subscription-based model, discontinuing perpetual licenses. This change is driven by adjustments made by Broadcom, aiming to streamline access to VMware solutions.

Existing VMware users will need to transition from perpetual licenses to subscription-based models. While current perpetual licenses remain valid until their support contracts expire, users must eventually migrate to subscriptions for continued support and updates.

The following VMware products are no longer available for purchase: VMware Aria Automation, VMware Aria Operations, VMware Aria Operations for Logs, VMware Aria Operations for Networks, VMware Aria Suite, VMware Aria Universal, VMware Cloud Foundation, VMware HCX, VMware NSX, VMware Site Recovery Manager, VMware vCloud Suite, VMware vSAN, VMware vSphere.

Transitioning to subscription-based licensing may entail unexpected cost increases for some organizations. However, exploring trade-in options and leveraging financial incentives offered by Broadcom can help streamline the transition process and optimize cost savings.
